Abstract
The vortex-induced vibrations of a cylinder with two plates symmetrically distributed along the centerline of the wake are studied by using the fluid-structure interaction simulations on the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method. In this study, the different geo-metrical distribution parameters of the splitter plates and inflow velocities are taken into account. The physical mechanisms of vortex-induced vibration of the cylinder with symmetrical plates are revealed from the cylinder amplitude, hydrodynamic force characteristics, vortex shedding frequency, and flow pattern modification. The results show that the dynamic interaction between the vortex shed from the oscillation cylinder and plates is responsible for the wake stabilization mechanism, and the stable wake and the dynamic response reduction of the main cylinder can be achieved at a wide range of reduced velocities by placing sym-metrical sheets at suitable locations.
